4th gen t56 pedals. what to do with gas pedal?

So years ago I put 4th gen pedals in the car when I did my auto-> t56 swap. Car hasn't reakky been driven. Long term project. So I never resolved bolting up the 4th gen gas pedal. It just kinds rests there against the firewall. The was I see it I have 2 options. Drill new holes and bolt it, or cut it off and use my stock 3rd gen pedal. Not sure which way to go. Don't really want to take the pedals out of the car, so cutting would probably be done with the dremel.

People generally just chop it off and use their existing one.

I am not aware of any specific benefit to keeping it.
I like my Dremel too.
In the land of long term projects, where I vacation on a regular basis, simple, effective, and done counts for a lot, so I would say chop chop.

Looks like I'm cutting it off. Jerry Springer here I come.
